How is the course structured?

General

A degree programme consists of modules that are defined in the examination regulations and described in more detail in the module handbook. In terms of content and time, it makes sense to study these modules in a certain order. There is a sample study plan for each degree program, which shows you an ideal course of study. If you study in this way, you can complete your studies within the standard period of study. This is not always possible, so there may be individual deviations from the suggested course. When planning, you should bear in mind that not every module is offered in the winter and summer semesters and that some modules build on each other or have other participation requirements. The Student Advisory Service will help you to plan your studies individually.

The Bachelor's degree course in Social Work is modularized and consists of 15 modules (including 2 compulsory elective modules). The courses offered are geared towards the fields of action of social work.

After the introduction to academic work and the introduction to the various disciplinary foundations of social work in the first two semesters, an integrated practical phase of 768 hours is planned in the third semester. The rest of the course includes in-depth modules and the Bachelor's thesis at the end of the course.

Each of the 15 modules is associated with a certain amount ofwork (workload). 1 credit corresponds to a workload of approx. 30 hours. The entire Bachelor's program comprises 180 credits.
Active participation in the courses as (ungraded) coursework is just as relevant for passing the module as the (graded) examinations. Ungraded coursework includes, for example Preparation of protocols, presentations, seminar designs or text sponsorships.

Examinations usually take the form of written examinations, term papers or oral examinations.
